Closing words
About me:
I'm an experienced DM (over 7 years).
I want 2 more players for the campaign (5 in total). Don't need to be a veteran, but I prefer some experience at least.
The campaign is my homebrew world, which I created for a fantasy book I've been working on for several years now.
I'm the head of a creative studio in a AAA-related gaming company.
I'm a fantasy lover, a medieval history buff, and a martial artist. So if it has capes - I'm IN!
I'm a father of 3, married, have a dog, and generally love dad jokes and word puns.
About the campaign:
We'll be using 5e with a lot of homebrew elements. All the races and lore are homebrew, but for ease of use - all of them are going to be based on edited versions of "normal" races (And all will be added to D&D beyond).
Start at level 4 - You're all roughly new adventurers.
This will be a balance between action, and role play.
You will have a lot of weight on the story and direction
Everything goes - as long as it's realistic within the logic and magic of the world. Just let me know what you want to try, and we'll see how to make it happen.
Death is final. Mostly. If your character dies - It'll be rare to bring them back. But you can always roll a new character.
I DM so you can enjoy it. I don't want to kill your characters. My goal is to give you a challenge, an interesting story, and a fun and immersive experience.
Weekly sessions, on Tuesdays at 22:00 Israel time. (Though I try to login aroudn 21:30 for chit chat, Q&A, etc...)
Discord Video Chat. I believe seeing our faces and expressions helps connect us, so I want people who are not camera shy. No one cares how you look, your race or color, or whatever. Be yourself (and your character), and that's great!
D&D Beyond + Foundry for battle maps
YouTube/Podcat - I want to record our sessions and post them on a YT channel I'll create for it, and maybe later on stream them live as well... I'm not delusional in thinking we'll be big or famous - But who knows, maybe some people will find our game fun to watch and benefit from it. So you need to be ok with it.
English. I'm not a native speaker, and I don't do accents very well... But I do have great English. The sessions will be in English. You need to be able to speak it well. Accents are fine :)
No IRL politics or agendas, please.
Age groups - around 30 or above, please.
About the world:
We'll be playing in a world called Alver on the continent of Kronland, a heavily Nordic-inspired world. Think of it as if the late Middle Ages/Renaissance era in Europe would have looked and felt if the Vikings had become the ruling influence instead of Christianity. So, there are different kingdoms with different cultures, fashions, styles, etc... But the Norse mythology and culture is very much a part of the world.
The lore is inspired by Nordic mythology, but it is NOT Nordic mythology. There's a full pantheon and history I created. Some stuff will align and match, but many will not.
The continent is very large, and thus, the distance between cities, villages, and civilizations is such that the world varies greatly between areas with rare magic and supernatural to cosmopolitan cities with mixed races, magic, and wonder.
The game is meant to be balanced between drama, grim, humor and epic adventure. It's not just grimdark, or silly. It'll be a mix of all.
You'll start small in scope - but the story is meant to go epic by the end.
There are 5 homebrew playable races (with some having sub-races) which I'll share the details of later, but these are the closest "D&D" races to them in racial traits:
Humans
Tabaxi (Kettir in our world)
Dwarfs/Gnomes/Halfings (Hedlinar in our world)
Goliath (Greaari in our world)
Aasimar (Mal-Siva in our world)
Closing words:
That's it. If you read all the way here - My respect!
I hope we can find a fun, friendly group to play, grow together, and have fun (and emotional support at times when needed lol).
Very new to it as this style, but keen to get involved. UK based, massive gamer and love fantasy rpgs so this is the logical next step for a bit of an outlet.
How many hours is each session? Sorry if I missed that.
Hi, your campaign sounds fantastic. My husband and I are interested if you are still looking for players. He has been playing since the 80s. I am a newer player but have been in a couple campagins. My husband is interested in character arcs and arcs of change. Also, we are not the anoying couple that breaks character to save each other lol. My discord name is bnali8018. Thanks
hi, I would love to join if you guys need one more, I haven't played in a while and want to get back into it. my last game didn't go to well and I would love to play a good game.

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have!
This sounds incredible and I'd love to join, are you flexible on the age range?
I mean, sure, but to a point lol :) No offense to young adults, but I still want us to be somewhat close in range... What's your age?
